Sebesta Picks Off the Bluff
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Bill Klein opened the action with a raise to 2,500, which was called by Justin Saliba on the button and Edward Sebesta in the big blind.
After the 3♦8♦6♣ flop, Sebesta checked to Klein who bet out 3,000. Saliba folded and Sebesta made the call.
Both players checked the K♥ turn, which brought the 4♠. Sebesta then check-called a bet of 3,000 from Klein. At showdown Klein turned over A♥4♥ for just ace high, and Sebesta tabled the winner with J♥8♥ to take the pot with his pair of eights.
